Use advice for data set The life cycle assessment of the KEVA 40.5 C2 4.1c, an EEPS (Electronic and Electrical Products and Systems), is a “cradle-to-grave” analysis. The figure below shows the product life cycle stages and the information considered in the LCA.
Technical purpose of product or process The product declared in this Environmental Product Declaration is the indoor voltage sensor KEVA 40.5 C2 4.1c, including related accessories and packaging. Voltage sensors offer an alternative way of making the voltage measurement needed for the protection and monitoring of medium voltage power systems. Sensors based on alternative principles have been introduced as successors to conventional instrument transformers in order to significantly reduce size, increase safety, and to provide greater rating standardization and a wider functionality range. The voltage sensor type KEVA C is intended for use in voltage measurement in gas insulated medium voltage switchgear. The voltage sensor KEVA C has been designed as easy replacement of originally used insulating plugs in the cable connectors. Due to their compact size and optimized design sensors can be used for retrofit purposes as well as in new installations. General technical specifications of the product are presented below. Technical information Unit Value Outer height/diameter mm 159/75 Insulation level kV 40.5/95/200 Rated primary V up to 38/v3 Accuracy class - 0.5 / 3P Frequency Hz 50 / 60 The production of the instrument sensors, from which medium indoor voltage sensor KEVA 40.5 C2 4.1c is part of, is located in the ABB Brno Videnska factory. The instrument sensors are produced and assembled directly in the ABB factory combined with components produced by ABB’s suppliers. ABB Brno ELDS adopts and implements for its own activities an integrated Quality/Environmental/Health Management System in compliance with the following standards: • UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 - Quality Management Systems- Requirements • UNI EN ISO 14001:2015 - Environmental Management Systems • UNI EN ISO 45001:2018 - Occupational Health and Safety Management system The constituent materials of KEVA 40.5 C2 4.1c are presented below.

General comment on data set Both primary and secondary data are used. The main sources for primary data are the bill of materials and technical drawings, while site specific foreground data are provided by ABB. Furthermore, information and data obtained from other LCA studies are also used. For all processes for which primary data are not available, generic data originating from the ecoinvent v3.9.1 database, “allocation, cut-off by classification”, are used. The LCA software used for the calculations is SimaPro 9.5. The utility consumption and waste generation by ABB, in the core manufacturing stage, is allocated to the production of one reference product according to applicable rules. For the end-of-life allocation, the “Polluter Pays” principle is adopted according to what is defined in the CEN/TR 16970 standard. However, the potential benefits and avoided loads from recovery and recycling processes are not considered because it is not required by the PCR. The materials that were excluded are glue, and adhesive, as their mass represents less than 2% of that of the whole product, as stated in the paragraph of cut-off criteria of EPDItaly015: “Materials making up the sensor itself whose total mass does not exceed 2% of the total weight of the device”. The same applies for tape and labels used in packaging, which are even a smaller fraction of the total mass. Sandblasting of capacitors and phosphating were also excluded due to the model complexity and unavailability of reference data.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
